As we approach the end of the year, it's a perfect time to reflect on the past year and set new goals for the upcoming one. At Whole Warrior Solutions, we believe in taking a holistic approach to goal-setting. This means not just looking at the tangible achievements but considering how our mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being contributes to our success.
To start, take inventory of the past year. What were your biggest accomplishments? What challenges did you face? What did you learn about yourself? Once you have a clear understanding of the past, you can start thinking about the future. When setting new goals, it's essential to make them SMART - Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, and Time-bound. This approach ensures that goals are clear, concise, and actionable. For example, instead of setting a goal to "get in shape," make it more specific by saying "exercise for 30 minutes, three times a week." Another critical aspect of setting new goals is to make sure they align with your values and priorities. At Whole Warrior Solutions, we provide person-centred services by considering each client's unique needs. Similarly, when setting new goals, make sure they are meaningful to you and align with your values. As a trauma-informed organisation, we understand that setting new goals can be overwhelming, especially if you've experienced trauma in the past. Take small steps and be kind to yourself along the way. Remember, progress is progress, no matter how small. Reach out if you'd like help with this. As we move forward into the New Year 2024, let's remember to approach goal-setting holistically, taking into account our mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. By setting SMART goals aligned with our values and taking small, intentional steps, we can achieve anything we set our minds to. For empowerment with developing SMART goals reach out today! Engage in one of our services including life coaching, startup business coaching, counselling or psychosocial recovery coaching or support coordination.

Self-care is an essential aspect of overall wellness, especially for those who participate in the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). It includes various activities and routines that aim to reduce physical and mental tension. According to the World Health Organisation, self-care is crucial enough to dedicate a whole month to it, culminating in International Self-Care Day on July 24th. Prioritising self-care means taking an active role in your own health, and the benefits extend beyond stress relief and mood improvement to disease prevention and longevity.
It is essential to note that some of the most effective ways to embody self-care are intentional and proactive. Here are four inspirations for unwinding this month and participating in a worldwide movement of health-conscious enjoyment. 1. Spend time outdoors Reconnecting with nature is a profound experience that touches on so many different aspects of overall wellness. Spending time outdoors comes with positive results such as improved heart health, soothed muscle tension, and reduction in levels of cortisol (often called the “stress hormone”). Outdoor time could mean anything from exploring a new walk in a lakeside park or getting a vigorous workout with Kayak-Cardio. 2. Pick up a mindful hobby Engaging in any activity that pulls your focus from the internal toward something external can be a healthy pursuit of mindfulness. For example, joining a group who do free tai chi in the park or practicing yoga and meditation weekly. |
